That is just part of the Lao culture because most Laotians I know are timid people. As long as it ain't killing no one then why having those laws? Just like the seat belt law in my city. People should be allowed to have an option to wear or not to wear seat belt when in a vehicle. Laos needs to relax and enjoy life. 


how much is the fine for unwearing seat belt?  150  Yuan here, about 22 USD. Only for front seats. I put a child seat back.

There's no seat belt laws in Laos I think. Just decency ones

That's right.

Even if there are seat belt laws in Laos, most cars are fitted with dark tinted windows so you can't really see inside the car anyway, so authorities are not able to identify if passengers are wearing their seat belt.

Seat belt law is stupid in my opinion and it is just a taxation scheme for the government.

In reality, government wants more people to perish as soon as possible in order to conserve money from paying for social, health and unemployment programs. This probably applies to Laos as well.

North Korea wants only adolescent males in North Korea so they can have more soldiers for Little Kim Jong Un.

Nice and I bet your cousin is a mechanical engineer or a Jack-of-all trades. If I own that motorbike, I would put a cooler on the side trailer, filled the cooler with ice and a gallon of goat milk and ride shirtless and wearing cowboy hat through Vientiane. Grin Grin Grin Would I be in prison for having no shirt on?


He is very good at fixing motorbikes and cars.

You won't go to prison, but what you're doing may be deemed inappropriate and disrespectful to Lao culture and you could be stopped by police and be given a fine.


It's funny how white tourists like to act like they're in a movie or something and walk around shirtless with those baggy hippy pants when they go to Asian countries. The locals just point and laugh at them. Anyone else seen this?

Another thing is white tourists riding bikes from one end of Laos to another.

In Cambodia, most older dudes walk around shirtless if they're just in the vicinity of their neighborhood. It's pretty funny though to see shirtless white dudes ordering food in restaurants or walking into their guesthouse.

I don't have a problem with bicyclists. I think it's pretty cool what they're doing. They're usually in good shape and have a goal and get to spend their time taking in the scenery and exercising. Most bicyclists just go to different countries and bike around.
